What happened to our Turbo Barra 80 Cruiser...

[@yungmumi]

I wonder if the same people in the comments would go up to a chef at a cafe and say “why do you need all this fancy cookware, I’ve made breakfast at home and have a hand mixer and I do just fine” or go up to a builder and say “don’t know why you waste your money on all these tools to build a house, I have a screwdriver and built a cupboard and i did it just fine”. Don’t think they get the concept that this is your job.

[@frankspinella250]

Wow guys great build. Tyler you are so lucky to have Burto working with you mate! His knowledge is excellent…and his comedy is good…can’t wait for the front diff to blow up so you can put a GU diff in it the front!! Mate you and Demi must have a diet of stale bread and water with the money you are forking out!!! Hope all goes well for the final bits and pieces!

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha thanks mate!

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Exciting times ahead. Definitely one of the best looking 80 Series in Australia. I can't wait to see more of it. Good one gents.

Welcome to conversion life 😂. The Na fg boxes are a lottery. I have one on my GQ with 330rkw... Have done 10,000km. The turbo fgs are definitely a lot better, but a built box will be a forever deal. Have done a Barra into a ford xc Falcon and a GQ. Both have had some teething. But once through it, you are laughing.

[@JakeHollibone]

Burtos one liners 😂 Glad to see the 80 coming along

[@That_Filthy_X]

Honestly, I gotta say I love watching Burto work and dropping knowledge.

[@DieselAddiction]

Having built several Toyotas I know how you feel, it's a never ending exercise in chasing your tail once you do high HP engine conversions. Patrols are so much easier and cheaper to build!

[@aleksydabrowa1114]

And better to drive and work on. I did 2 80’s before I gave up and went to a GU and I’ll never go back. TB48 with a few tickles will outperform this thing every day of the week, and now doing a 6bt series 4, took it for its first run the other day and I cannot wipe the smile off my face. It just runs and does everything effortlessly!

[@marksmith3631]

Engine swap it they said - it's not that hard they said. Luv how you guys showing the stress, and difficulties - how it is in the real world - doing the barra swap on the 80. Stick with it, coming along great. Keep up the content. Dare I say it - keep following Burto's advice - do it once, the right way. Demi must owe for all of this. If someone was smart - they'd record the in's and out's and should be able to sell advice on how to

Loving the build! Obviously lots of money and tears but awesome viewing, keen to see it on some trips

Loved following this build. It's definitely the last 10% that makes the difference between an average conversion and a great conversion. 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Couldn't agree more!

Really digging hose ROH Assaults. Like any engine conversion you just have to be patient & work your way through all the little niggly issues without stressing & you will get there in the end - which obviously next vid will reveal

[@Wolf4wdadventures.576]

Hey Tyler, this has been an awesome series on the conversion, but I personally would never use it as a tourer ? It's reliability is in question, not questioning your work or anything.. It's just it would definitely be on my mind because it's a bit of this bit of that.... Cheers .

[@TylerThompson90]

Once it's all done I reckon it will be pretty reliable, its a Ford & Toyota, two good brands 😁 either way we will find out once we start taking it on some trips haha

[@HarpersShed]

Im going through engineering preparation now for my 6.5lt v8 diesel conversion in my GQ, loads of fun. One big question though, i was told by my engineer in Newcastle that a full 35" tire cant be engineered in NSW yet. Have you been advised otherwise? Cheers for the continued fantastic content guys.

[@TylerThompson90]

Hey mate, yep he just engineered ours on full size 35 but has to be maximum 2 inch lift

[@HarpersShed]

@TylerThompson90 no worries, thanks for the reply mate. I have a small body lift also so perhaps that's why my engineer isnt happy to do it on 35s

Those valves are going to be a great trick when you come out from the pub and someone has popped the four of them all flat

Looking slick! 👌

[@jamestanner9198]

Guy's I did tell you the top mount turbo would put too much heat there where master cylinder was. I put cover on mine same as yours but it did not work. Fluid still got too hot on long trips. had to go bottom mount turbocharger. Been there and done that. Its not in a 80 series mine in a good car a short GQ Nissan. The master cylinders lines almost same place as your 80.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

New wheels look great. Lots of money and stress for sure

I was wondering how you were going with it, hope it gets engineered ok

[@gridoo]

Glad you removed the dirty wheels. Looking good

[@Angler233]

How does engineering pass that bullbar? Unless it does have adr compliance meeting all the crash requirements etc? Does the engineer want to see front axle weight? A run through the process would be sweet. The gvm engineer I was dealing with wanted front axle weight with 2 passengers based on the accessories I had. That was with Dobinsons.

[@onstreetgarage]

@ I reckon that’ll be the go when the time comes 👍🏼

[@TylerThompson90]

Nah definitely very happy with the swap we did. It cost a lot of money haha was super cool learning experience and a barra conversion is easier then other conversions out there. Plus its been some of the best content I've ever had for the channel and the car is so much fun to drive haha

[@Brennomac83]

My mate turbos all his fz's and the trans is his let down. He is going a manualised re4 now.

[@darealbushwookie]

heltch ecu and a IC-7 dash would of saved alot of wiring issues and time..

[@mice6390]

No idea why u didn’t turbo the 1fz. Comes with an i6 already just plug n play the haltec + the turbo and that’s it. 1fz are overall tougher with solid lifers oil pump drive etc. You could have put a zf8hp too.

16:06 DRONE dampening - not sound dampening! Pretty much wrong done (or said) on all english spoken channels on YT (probably because they all use the same material/ MKT paid). For SOUND dampening one need open cell material, like foam etc. For DRONE dampening one just needs to cover 20-30% !!! of the sheet metal. 😁 If one does not believe me, check out any car hifi expert.
